Since the 1.4.0 firmware version for the Inventure, it is possible to use materials either from cartridges or spools. However, to make material loading easier when using a spool, you have to print a special spool holder and install it on the side of the printer. It consists of three parts and requires to be assembled before the installation. The holder can be adapted to spools of both model and support materials. The .stl files for the left and right spool holders are available for download here. Follow the steps from this manual to properly assemble and install the holder in the printer.
| This manual shows how to install the right spool holder. The left one is installed in the same way. |
